Have a look at these poles, more to the point, look at the prices!

it makes you wonder harris pole reincarnated


although i think they might be to thin as if you click on poles you will see flags on them and they are fairly bending still worth it though as trevor says to experiment with

Hey Bazzy. I need some advice here ... and you're obviously the guy as you've got three of them.

I do a couple of town houses on which my 17 foot pole is just a touch too short. I really need a 21 foot (or a touch more) pole to give me enough reach and a bit of leeway. It's straight up and down work, so rigidity isn't really much of an issue. What length of skyblue would you recommend given that the top section needs to be big enough to attach a gooseneck to?

Hi Wally..
The one in the pic is the 9m pole but time its converted is down to 6m so if you need 21 foot then go for the 10m one.

Are they easy to convert? And can the smaller ones be converted to trad poles easily?

Thanks,

Dean.
